• I, too, am tickled by this great discussion. I appreciate the author who wrote such a clear original article and then seeing the different ways other people would solve this.

    Personally, I would use the Jet/Access method myself. However, if there were a reason I couldn't use Access, I would create the set of queries in Excel. Then the question is how to run them. I like the Author's suggestion of OSQL. I also like the DOS suggestion posted earlier. Both of these are areas I will research more. Thanks!
